Nike announced Monday the launch of “Nike+ Accelerator, powered by TechStars,” which will host 10 companies for a three-month, mentor-driven startup accelerator.

Boulder-based TechStars will “facilitate the program” and TechStars chief executive David Cohen will serve as a mentor, according Nike’s press release.

The Nike+ program will be based in Portland, Ore., and begin in March and run through June. Similar to TechStars’ Demo Day, the Nike+ Accelerator will end with technology investor demonstration days, including a day in California’s Silicon Valley.

Cohen said the Nike program is the second accelerator to be “powered by TechStars.”

“Microsoft launched the Seattle-based Microsoft Accelerator in January, and it’s now in the middle of the second program after a very successful first program,” Cohen wrote in a blog post Monday.
